HD samsung 840 120gb ssd for price and speed. storage seagate barracuda 1tb 7200 rpm again price. Ram kingston hyper x 8 gb (2x4) for speed and price. Gpu hopefully gtx 670 not sure of make yet. Im going to be using pc for games movies internet just daily use but i do like first person shooters. Some of the other components power supply cooler ext im going to use froom current pc 750watt power should be good i think has about a year on life so im hoping it will still have enough life in it bottlenecking is my biggest concern

What's your budget. Because right now, you're coming out to about $1300. If you want to extend your budget a little more ($1082 more) with a crossfire, a better overclocking mobo, and an amazing CPU cooler...look no further. Because here it is. Also, you really don't need an ATX Full Tower Case. For this build, you only need a Mid-Tower.

Also, if you're gonna go for the Sabertooth motherboard, I suggest getting an i7 even a six core i7. Because pairing an i5 with that mobo is overkill in my opinion.
